Perfect Paul was a part of the DecTalk family of voices, so as DecTalk went, so Perfect Paul went. Can't say that I missed him, but again, that is simply a testimony to the fact that voice preference is very subjective.

What happened to Perfect Paul. Did he go the way of the Dec talk? -----Original Message----- From: jfw-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:jfw-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of dave-d0619 Sent: Tuesday, December 02, 2008 6:41 AM To: jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: Jaws 10 and RealSpeak Solo direct voices When you use synthesizers such as the RealSpeak synthesizers, for example, is that when you speed them up, the quality of the speech deteriorates considerably. Also, they use more computer resources than synthesizers such as Eloquence. Personally, I find them irritating and annoyingly slow for everyday use, which is why I would only use them for functions such as "SayAll" with the appropriate JAWS command When I first used Eloquence, I did not like it very much. But, like many other people, I have got used to it.

The ones included with JAWS sound considerably better. They are not, as I have said several times now, meant to replace Eloquence. bruce -- Bruce Toews Proud JAWS User Skype ID: o.canada E-mail and MSN/Windows Messenger: bruce@xxxxxxxx LiveJournal: http://masterofmusings.livejournal.com Web Site (including info on my weekly commentaries): http://www.ogts.net Info on the Best TV Show of All Time: http://www.cornergas.com On Mon, 1 Dec 2008, Jeffrey Schwartz wrote:What is the advantage of this alternative to eloquence and the voices.Ithink that two of them are the same as the ones available on the Victor Stream Reader.

Even so, I still need to ask these questions. Thanks. I'm using Jaws 10. I'd like to install one or more voices from the RealSpeak Solo Direct page at the FS site, but I don't understand what I'msupposedto do. When I click on the FTP link for a voice, I get a common download dialogue. Fine. First of all, do I want to run or save? if it's Run, whathappens?And if it's Save I want, then in which folder of my hard drive should Iplaceit ? And then, how do I actually install it and get it working? I used to use Jaws 9, and I installed the old RealSpeak voices from the Jaws 9 CD, and they all appeared in my Say All item on the Configuration Manager Settings menu, and I knew how to get a voice working as the default Say All voice or, if I preferred, to set it up so that if I pressed Alt keyInsertdown arrow instead of the regular Say All command, the voice would kick in. So I have that experience. But I can't figure out how to install one or more of the new voices. this. I hope my question is clear. Thanks for any assistance. -- JFW related links: JFW homepage: http://www.freedomscientific.com/ Scripting mailing list: http://lists.the-jdh.com/listinfo.cgi/scriptography-the-jdh.com JFW List instructions: To post a message to the list, send it to jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe from this mailing list, send a message to jfw-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the word unsubscribe in the subjectline.Archives located at: //www.freelists.org/archives/jfw If you have any concerns about the list, post received from the list,orthe way the list is being run, do not post them to the list.
